Jurate
Macnoriute, book critic. Some Demerits in Tadeusz Teller's theory :
The INGENEZA Hypothesis and the Canon of Beauty
has nice intention to analyze objects of nature and to find causes of
their beauty .
According to Tadeusz Teller, he wrote his canon with the cooperation
of scientists from a number of Universities .
Notwithstanding writing this review I am putting reliance only on my
own judgment. At least in my location any consultation takes away
larger part of authorship, any consultant desires to be called a
co-author. Let us go to analysis of ingeneza of Tadeusz Teller. What
is ingeneza ? Polish word geneza is equivalent to genesis that is
origin, provenance. The word in is Latin preposition signing being
inside. Consequently ingeneza must be something in origin .
Tadeusz Teller may be compared with ancient thinker Demokritos, only
if Demokritos thought that all things and even soul are made from
undivided particles atoms ,
according to Tadeusz Teller, non-material ingeneza acts in atoms and
outside atoms and it is in basis of cosmos, world, and human brain ...

The CANON of Art Regeneration in Twelve Levels. Theory and Practical
Examples
(...) What is canon? In encyclopedias canon is determined as a system
of rules, standard that dominates in art of some historical period or
of some art trend. First of all canons of art are characteristic for
ancient and for the Middle ages. Dominance proportions of ideal human
body is typically for ancient canons. Greek sculptor Polykleitos gave
a sense of proportions of human figure in treatise "Canon" that was
practically embodied in his sculpture "Doryphoros". Canon of
Polykleitos became norm for ancient art and with some changes for the
Middle ages, Renaissance and for art of classicism. In the Middle ages
iconographic canon settled compositional schemes and details
especially in religion art. It survived till the 16th century.
Relation among concepts art style, creative method, technique and
canon. Creative method is a system of principles or rules managing
creative process. Art technique is totality of methods and ability to
apply these methods. Canon as it was mentioned above also is a system
of rules, though canon is not any system of rules, but such that
expresses ideal of some epoch, culture, nation, etc. Word "ideal" does
not necessary mean some philosophy beauty product, but in some
historical cases aesthetical ideal expressed even ugliness. Thus
creative method can be canonized if it reflects ideal of epoch...

Portrait
Artist Douglas Drenkow (USA) .
When you look at portraits of Douglas Drenkow, you feel that they
radiate such fine mood that you begin to smile. What is reason?
Sincerity?
Readiness to please? Very unique and strange case is Douglas Drenkow's
becoming an artist. He is self-taught, educated in the biological
sciences at the University of California .
He tells that making countless studies of microscopic and macroscopic
forms in nature, he honed his skills for careful observation and
accurate drawing .
From his studies Douglas Drenkow got ability to work with the highest
precision. Great his helper is computer ...

Visual
Narration of Russian Artist Ellen Gera .
Guest of THE SECRETS OF PERFECTION Ellen Gera was born, grew up and
reached artistry in Moscow .
Painting studies at the Surikov Academy for Fine Arts gave her sure
basis and freedom for creative work.
Such basis becomes rarity in modern world sissy and slacked with
mechanical means of photography and computer .
Such basis can be only the object of envy of artists from countries in
that art education have no traditions and state's support .
If best world's chess-player Gary Kasparov tied hardly the score with
computer, it seems in realm of painting real masters are not
overmatched by machine yet...

Rebirth of
Yogi Art in American Shankar's Pictures .
In speedily growing industrial Western world where business occupied
all sides of life, where art schools remained almost without support
of state and other sponsors ,
human being feels itself alone and refuse and some downhill of
spirituality is observable. For this reason artists themselves seek
for
way out from the situation, often appealing to ancient art schools and
philosophy often oriental. We do not wonder seeing knots of strange
clad Hare Krishna people running in streets
of modern towns, singing, dancing and beating the drums. Orient
calligraphy, Yoga, Hare Krishna lures some young minds sick and tired
of machines ,
eternal rush and stresses. Like Western romantics or Indian sadhu they
desire to escape, to hide themselves at rest in beautiful places, most
often on mountains. Such is guest...

Young Canadian
artist Peter Kohutiar, follower of Giuseppe Arcimboldo ,
creates his images applying digital photography, computer and Epson
printers showing unrestrained fantasy and oeuvre. Like Arcimboldo for
details he chooses various vegetables, fruits, berries, leaves of
plants, sunflowers, pastries. Most often from these objects he also
composes human heads...

Sophisticated High Technical 'Arte Povera' of Helene Black .
Guest of THE SECRETS OF PERFECTION Helene Black was born in Cyprus and
grew up in Australia .
Her art deals with the intersection of industry, technology and social
theory. She works with Mixed media, installations, sculptures,
paintings and new media . By nature Helene Black serious
melancholic concentrated contemporary woman artist influenced by
Italian art movement 'Arte Povera' ('poor art'), and we can say even
more, she can be reckoned among members of the movement though this
movement covered the decade from 1962 to 1972 called as anarchic.
Its representatives were Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pier
Paolo Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Piero Gilardi, Jannis Kounellis, Mario
Merz, Marisa Merz, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali...

Romanticizm
in Painting of Italian Painter Margherita Fascione .
Guest of THE SECRETS OF PERFECTION Margherita Fascione engaged in
painting from early childhood, however, in the heyday of her youth she
chose studies of Philosophy with specialization in Aesthetics at
Istituto Universitario Orientale of Naples. After the institute she
felt an implacable hankering for painting. Of
course living in so beautiful country like Italy, where so many good
art surrounds citizenry, such hankering is easy explicable. From
aesthetics to art also only a step. Thus the artist is a self-taught
painter with aesthetic background.
Seeing at her art works every will agree that Margherita Fascione
gifted artist with Romantic attitude (Blake, Delacroix, Friedrich,
Géricault, Goya, Philipp Otto Runge, Turner). At the outset her moving
spirit was Renoir, Monet...

Portraits
and Landscapes of Chen Jiqun .
Historic resources testify that
influence from West to East began in the fourth century B.C. together
with the conquests of Alexander the Great, when elements of Classical
culture to the near East and India were brought .
It is considered that
Western oil painting came into existence during the Ming and Qing
dynasties when in China Jesuit painters developed their activity .
In
the 1920s many Chinese students went abroad to study oil painting . In
that period most known artists were Li Shutong, Li Tiefu, Chen Baoyi,
Xu Beihong, Lin Fengmian, Liu Haisu .
In times of socialism Chinese
painting more was influenced by Russian and Soviet art ...

Caroline Putnam (USA).
Caroline Putnam started drawing at the age of two and in the early
college years studied at Rhode Island school of Design .
Carol currently resides in Los Angeles where she paints, teaches, and
freelances as a web artist, faux finisher and mural artist. I look at
her paintings and think. Yes ,
I would like to say a few sentences not about concrete person
professional artist Caroline Putnam, but about general contemporary
development of American art that we can see on the Web and a
representative of that Caroline Putnam is. ..

My follower
Akhmed Zakayev
in London Chechen envoy Akhmed Zakayev recently
was spotlighted and photographed in car. Composition of photography
and pose of the figure are very similar to picture's which I
painted for illustration of my canon of art regeneration. Acceptance
of my ideas is not bad. It is bad that Akhmed Zakayev relates with
terrorists. (J.M.)
